Aran Tanchum; Behind the Sounds of Film: The Art of Foley

What if most of what you hear in movies isn’t real? In this episode of Hear Us Out, we sit down with Foley mixer Aran Tanchum to explore the hidden world of sound design in film and television. From footsteps and clothing movement to the subtle sounds that make scenes feel real, Foley artists with the assistance of Foley mixer's (the recording engineer) create the everyday noises our brains rely on to believe what we’re seeing. We dive into how sound is built from scratch, why our brains accept artificial audio as reality, and what this reveals about how we process and interpret sound. Aran shares insights into the creative and technical side of Foley, breaking down how simple objects can be transformed into convincing sound effects—and why silence can be just as powerful as noise. This conversation also explores the science of hearing and perception, including how the brain prioritizes sound, how context shapes what we hear, and why certain audio cues feel more “real” than others. If you’re interested in sound design, Foley, film production, audio engineering, hearing, or the psychology of sound, this episode will change the way you experience movies—and the world around you.
